PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Its not libel but it falls under the dictionary definition of defamation, he is asserting that it is impossible that we generate as much as revenue as we do so basically saying not only are our past accounts false but our current ones too.

Unless I am wrong, and I frequently am, libel is just defamation in written form (put simply).

And he isn't saying our accounts are wrong, he is saying he can't understand why our turnover is higher than other clubs. He is being stupid not libellous, imho, especially when he can point to two things: the ongoing case which alleged fraudulent recognition of sponsorship and, I think, the overstatement of sponsorship income from related parties; and the conclusions of the (partially) completed case that rules were required to stop overstated sponsorship from associated parties specifically because of the UEFA investigation into the club and the current PL investigation. And even on top of all that, some sort of damage would have to be shown, I think?

He has enough to say his lack of understanding is justified, at least until the 115 are settled in favour of the club, imho.

Anyway, I realise this is an unpopular, and possibly bollocks, opinion, so I will shut up :)

This is exactly the same as the other Liverpool fans I spoke to. They have been spoon-fed glory, righteousness, European nights, and the noise of the Kop since they were babies. They cannot accept that another has superseded them. They refute ALL evidence of such. They will not accept that it is for any reason other than corruption or cheating. If we win, they will not accept it. If we lose, they are the rightful champions and saviours of the game.

They’ve been superseded 33 times in the last 34 years so that is some chronic long term mental illness right there.

Some of the things City claim… sometimes I just can't believe… when they claim that they bring in more revenue than anybody else, like Real Madrid, and teams like that, I’m like, ‘behave.”

Thats not being stupid that is in print and libelous right there my friend, its not just the context of whats being said its where it is being said and the person that is saying it that is also taken into account, if you or i said it here then it counts for nothing, but carragher is a broadcaster for not one but 2 organisations so for him to put that out in an interview is different altogether.

Lol, fair enough, but can we agree he is utterly stupid?

Because he's a compulsive liar that has the ear of some large media companies ?

Than we move on to the state of these large media companies. Why would I listen to a company that employs someone who behaves like him.

OK I know what you mean but the media/press arent aimed at 'normal sensible people'. It's aimed at the knobheads with very little intelligence and a blind belief that their clubs are the best in the world.

I can do think of any other walk of life where spitting at anyone gets away with it. I suppose it could be said he wasn't working for sky at the time but . ...

It really is.
They grudgingly accept Manchester United, but we remember well the 'trophy-posturing' between the two.
They cannot accept a club they perceive as smaller, without the history, suddenly taking over them. It MUST be fake. It MUST be cheating. They MUST be punished.

Having said that, I asked a Liverpool supporting friend to take a look at RAWK. He was absolutely shocked and said that he will never look at it again, describing it as utterly horrible.

Spitty ….I’ve said it so many times that cnut should never be working on tv after that spitting incident.

Him spitting is a matter of fact.
City having the highest viewing figures in the USA is a fact.
His needle…well you can guess where that should go.

Success used to be the rod by which clubs are measured. Apparently it’s popularity now. Funny that isn’t it?

I can’t wait for his smacked arse face when City win yet again….along with all the other history clubs.

Talking of history do you know how many years it was since footy began before United amassed more top flight points than City? Have a guess before you scroll down for the answer…..
